Default R Lens question

I recently accuired some wonderful Leica gear including some R lenses.Although I have been involved with SLR & rangefinder photography for many years it was never Leica gear.I am unfamiliar with the quality and relative value of the folowing R lenses.If any one has opinions on the following, I welcome them.I know that all companies create some lenses which are "to die for" and some that are "just o.k.".Before I start shooting through all of them(it will take a while) to see for myself ,I would appreciate your insights.

Super Elmar 15mm f3.5 #30... Wetzlar
Elmarit "fish eye" 16mm f2.8 #26... Wetzlar
Super-Angulon 21mm f4 #24... Wetzlar
Super-Angulon 28mm PC f2.8 #34... Germany
PA Curtagon 35mm f4 #24... Germany
Macro Elmarit 60mm f2.8 #28... Wetzlar
Angenieux 45/90mm f2.8 #12... France
Elmarit 135mm f2.8 #23... Wetzlar
Elmarit 180mm f2.8 #22... Wetzlar
Vario Elmar 80/200mm f4.5 #27... Wetzlar/Lens made in Japan(Minolta?)
APO Telyt 280mm f2.8 #32...Germany (big suitcase!)

Lenses appear minty and treated with reverance. Thanks, Rob.
